Applications of CP-EM Organophilic Clay for Synthetic Base Fluids
Oil-Based Drilling Fluids
Special Features and Benefits
- Minimal shear required
- Dispersible under cold mixing conditions
- Improves sag resistance
- High YP/PV ratio
- Effective in most base oils
- Wet processed, highly refined
- Secondary benefits include: filtration control and emulsion stability
Recommended Uses
CP-EM is recommended for drilling fluids utilizing synthetic fluids as the base oil and in all-oil fluids where temperatures will not exceed 300 °F (150 °C). This product is well suited for mud plants with minimal mixing shear capability.
